Week in Review

ITEM!

I almost never buy CDs or DVDs at the mall.  But this weekend I found a copy of Dino De Laurentiis' 1976 version of King Kong on sale for $4.50.  I couldn't pass it up.

I remember as a kid collecting the trading cards.  I just found these pictures on EBay:

I'm not sure whatever happened to mine.  Probably gone in one of the yard sales my folks seemed to throw every other year.  At any rate, it was good to see the film again.  First time in nearly 30 years.  I was amazed at how much I actually remembered.

Still haven't seen the new Peter Jackson version yet.  And honestly, I'm not in any great hurry to do so.  I heard it was wicked long.  Mrs. T is not a movie fan at all, so I don't watch as much as I like.  I've got a huge backlog of flicks I've yet to see (including everything nominated for best picture this year.) 

ITEM!

It's been a bittersweet time in bloggerdom these past couple of weeks.  J-Go closed down Suburban Scrawl after three years and JtH is on an indefinite hiatus.  Admittedly, I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like, and I'm probably going to consolidate... no more Friday Cat Blogging and I'm probably going to close down my quiz.  (Kind of silly to host a quiz I think if you don't have time to play it yourself.)  But you can still get your quiz fix over at CBK's place.  I'm not going anywhere though, I just don't want to commit to serials if I can't maintain them.

It's not all bad news though.... the Hyperbolic Hermitage just popped onto the scene and will replace J-Go on my sidebar.  Oh, and for now on, anytime I have to mention J-Go, his name will be linked to this site.... I know it's cruel, but it's a just punishment... at least until he decides to resurrect his blog.

I'll be sad to see the Daily Penance go, but playing it by myself isn't much fun.

Looking forward to when you can blog more.

Thanks for the shout out! I've been on your site a few times, and admired your Reliquary. If only my Pez collection was so developed.

To be infinately attached to Miami University...is anyone deserving of that? Hell on earth...
